Now that we've had a couple of warm days (80F+) I've been noticing some discharge from one of the puke hoses. It only seems to happen when the bike is parked at work during the day and after the bike has cooled off (couple of hours after riding). I've been able to isolate it to one of the two fuel tank puke lines. I've figured out that one of the hoses is for tank overflow but what is the other for? One hose appears to have an in-line check valve about halfway down. This isn't the hose that is puking. It bothers me 'cause the fuel eats the coating on the asphalt and look like an oil leak. I'm tired of "Triumphs that leak oil" jokes! BTW, it doesn't matter how much fuel is in the tank. Any ideas? TIA

its the tip over check valve. I disconnected mine. It builds up too much vacuum in the tank.
